Today's Weather Report

Mine was 91' Acura Integra. Not the type R. It was my second car. That thing sucked in the snow. It was like paper weight. The car I have now and you've seen it posted in this thread. It's very good in the snow. I can push that thing far and it'll never fail in bad weather. I always give extra time winter or not with the amount of people on the roads.

 

I hate them but it is not personal.

In 1984, Virgin allowed them to rescore the film of the same name, destroying Dominic Muldowney's beautiful work.
Dominic received an academy award for his score, but he refused to accept it because by the time of the awards ceremony his work had been butchered.
Virgin were using the film (which they had part funded) to promote the band. However it seriously backfired, wrecking both the box office of the film and months of my work.

On a later occasion, Virgin supplied some current popular music tapes to play during the interval of La Traviata.
Unfortunately, I had a nasty accident with the recordings and being such a nutty professor I forgot to tell them.

 

Lots of snow and "high" of zero degrees here in the Midlands, UK.

 

Yes, Dominic Muldowney wrote the original score that was nominated for 2 awards.
The film went over budget and delays threatened the release being delayed into 1985. Virgin panicked and decided to cut their losses by using the film to promote the band who lacked publicity.
The first recording was rejected by the director of the film, but a compromise was reached where the original 'anthem' was retained, intermixed with a mish mash of the tracks recorded by the band. These had to be rerecorded onto the film to avoid them clashing with the dialog. The result was a total mess, with the music going up and down like a yo yo. Adding the Eurythmics title and promotion to the credits caused further problems, including with the anthem running smoothly into the opening of the film.

Thinking back, it was Michael Radford who refused his award for best director.
When I do too much thinking back, I realise that I am getting old and senile.

 

Did you prefer Richard Burton in this film.?
At the press screening it sent shivers down the critics spines. Probably the only time that I ever saw them lost for words.

 

This is one of my favourite memories, taking me back to when I was about 16 and I read Under Milk Wood to the parents at the school open evening.

Few of them stayed for the complete performance, they probably thought that I was going to grow up nutty for my choice of literature.

 

The absent minded professor forgot to post the video

Richard Burton must have been born to read the works of Dylan Thomas.
Odour of Chrysanthemums is my favourite, unfortunately it is not available on video. It was the book that I chose for my English Literature exam.
Have you ever read it.?

 

Ugh. It's Monday. That means running around like a manic to get stuff done by the end of the week. Supposed to have snow showers tomorrow into Wednesday. Captured another beautiful sunrise in Elizabeth, NJ.
